How is Kick-Ass, the best-selling comic by Mark Millar and artist John Romita Jr., making the leap to movie screens? Find out in Kick-Ass: Creating the Comic, Making the Movie, the new art book that boasts the superpower of having an exceptionally straightforward title.

Here's a snippet of synopsis from publisher Titan Books: "What would happen when an ordinary kid in a spandex costume comes face-to-face with the criminal underworld? Comic book fan and high school student Dave Lizewski, aka the self-styled vigilante Kick-Ass, is about to find out ... and it’s going to get really, really violent! Kick-Ass: Creating the Comic, Making the Movie features creator Mark Millar's unique commentary on the conversion of his best-selling comic to the big screen, with hundreds of movie photos." The book also includes art from the original comics, script extracts and unseen movie artwork by Romita.

Kick-Ass: Creating the Comic, Making the Movie, which retails for $20, is out now. The R-rated Kick-Ass movie premieres at the South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival next week and hits theaters April 16.
